Ep 2. Maria & Dave

Maria and Dave, a married couple with two kids, are looking for their dream home in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada. They have a budget of $800,000 and want a large, open-concept living area with plenty of space for kids to play. Maria loves to cook, so a functional and stylish kitchen is a must-have. Dave, a musician, dreams of having a music room to practice and record in.

Enter the Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott, who have an ambitious plan to turn a fixer-upper into the perfect family home. The episode starts with an introduction to Maria and Dave and a tour of their current home, which is too small and lacks the modern amenities they want. Drew and Jonathan sit down with them to discuss their must-haves and their renovation budget.

After finding a house within their budget, Drew takes Maria and Dave on a tour of the property. The house has a lot of potential, but it needs a lot of work to become the home the couple is dreaming of. The kitchen is outdated, the bathrooms need to be updated, and the basement is unfinished. However, with their experience in home renovation, Drew and Jonathan are confident that they can make the house work for Maria and Dave.

The renovation work begins with the demolition of the old kitchen, which is replaced with a custom-made one designed by Maria, who is a chef. Jonathan puts his carpentry skills to work crafting a custom island, while Drew focuses on updating the electrical and plumbing systems. The new kitchen is spacious and aesthetically pleasing, with trendy backsplash tiles and high-end appliances.

While the kitchen is being renovated, Drew and Jonathan also work on other areas of the house. In the basement, they install new flooring and create a home theater with a large screen and comfortable seating. They also transform a drab bedroom into a recording studio, complete with sound-proof walls and top-of-the-line equipment.

Maria and Dave are thrilled to see the progress and are amazed at how the Property Brothers have managed to turn their vision into reality. However, there are some unexpected problems that come up during the renovation, such as mold in the walls and asbestos in the vermiculite insulation. These setbacks force Drew and Jonathan to adapt their plan and find solutions to the problems.

Despite the challenges, the Property Brothers manage to complete the renovation within the allotted budget of $200,000. The finished product is stunning, with a spacious and inviting living area, a modern kitchen, and stylish bedrooms and bathrooms. Maria and Dave are ecstatic with their new home, which is not only functional but also a reflection of their personalities and lifestyle.

In the final scene, Maria and Dave invite their friends and family over for a housewarming party, showing off their beautifully renovated home. The Property Brothers appear, congratulating the couple on their new home and wishing them a happy future. The episode ends on a high note, with Maria and Dave excited to start their new life in their dream home.
